Thanks for that code. I fully agree that the current help system is a step
back. For stable bookmarking, my workaround is to put
options(help.ports=6800)
into the profile, so I can created links like
http://127.0.0.1:6800/library/gmodels/html/estimable.html
but this still required that I start RGui and the help system once.

Thanks for this, too. Btw, is there a way to start the dynamic Rhelp server in the background without manually launching RGui? That, combined with Dieter's suggestion, would bring the help system sort of back to its original state.
You don't need Rgui, you could run Rterm, which would have a smaller
footprint. It's not very hard to start it and minimize it, but if you
want it running invisibly, you'll need to figure out how to hide the icon.
A disadvantage of doing this is that you won't see help relevant to your
current session, you'll see help relevant to the background task. In
2.10.x there aren't many differences, but you'll find it more limiting
in 2.11.x and later.

I am sorry to say that the new dynamic help is a HUGE nuisance to me. Had to
revert back to R 2.9 because of that :-(.
